CSI Miami must've been Dubya's favorite show.

I mean, the dialogue is fucking terrible and tries too hard to be hip so much it's cringe worthy. the themes are handled with the subtlety of a litter of cats being thrown into a woodchipper and flimsy, and that is coming from someone who is politically aligned to the same "side" as it.
I enjoyed them for the atmosphere and the reactivity (before the final episode that is). But I kinda enjoyed it DESPITE itself.

On a side note, new episodes of LiS2 can only played if you purchase the full game or the season pass. You can't buy the episodes individually. What's the point in making them episodic then? Might as well wait for the game to be finished.

The "epusodic" gimmick has run it's course. It was always pointless and only resulted in worse games.

Billy McFarland is straight up a sociopath, it's good he liked money that much or else he would've probably shot up a mall instead of pulling increasingly insane scams.

Billy McFarland did nothing wrong. music festivals are gay whether they fail or not.

Maduro needs to go fuck himself, but I don't want a war to start on the country next door. Specially if it results in say the US using it to take over the region.

Russia has declared support for Maduro. My fears have been proven. This is just an elaborate pantomime so international powers can fight over the Venezuelan oil on the back of a crumbling regime.

what else is new?

the visit is genuine dogshit.

anyways not liking a product for reasons external to the product itself is pretty stupid in general.

Split was a script Shyamalan made a long time ago, back when he didn't suck as much so it lulled us into a false premise that he had "become good again" when in fact he just used pre-suck material.

I liked Split up untill it could simply not sustain itself. That's also something that Shyamalan has a tendency to do - some of his movies FEEL really good, they start out good, they move and behave good, and you anticipate goodness. Then it implodes, sooner or later

well, i do believe you gotta seperate the art from the autist but like if an author's beliefs had a clear affect on the work itself it'd be dumb to outright dismiss it. SGTMKIV made a great doom mod with brutal doom and i'm not gonna not enjoy that just because he's a sociopathic racist. but if the mod took on racist undertones then ignoring that would be dumb.

Death of the author is usually only used on literary critique to offer a wider range of analysis than "what did the author say".
It was never meant to solve arguments about wether you can still watch ren and stimpy.
In the end it's a personal choice wether the author's person affects your enjoyment of something.

Ironically (or appropriately), the very meaning of Death of the author has been subjected to itself so now it has no actual meaning, just a cool buzzword to throw around on your shitty youtube video to seem cooler.

I am not a fan of public apologies, because they are almost never genuine. And they aren't gonna apologize anyway, the Sweet Little Lies meme exist for a reason, it's Bethesda's M.O, only getting called out because they made a game that only a handful of their most die hard fans can even tolerate.

The problem with it is that Bethesda can faking being pained all they want, and the Fallout fans can whine all they want, but all Beth is seeing is 'don't do 76 again, stay with 4'. And then ES6 comes out and everyone explodes in adoration for Beth again. Beth isn't actually *hurt* from this, is all.

A screw up of this magnitude is the kinda fiasco that closes studios. I am predicting the "Battlecry" guys are seeing heads rolling.

Methanol Blindness is a feature.

I have even seen people use Amazing World of Gumball as an example of Cal Arts style... even tho GUmball has like a hundred different styles every episode, it's kinda the gimmick of the show.

Every western cartoon features the grinning potato.

Reminder that the X industry is completely dominated by the thing I don't like and it doesn't have anything to do with being dishonest or ignorant enough to pretend like that's actually true.

First Car bomb attack in the capital in 10 years.

I tell him to SPECIFICALLY scout for a Web Designer, and that portofolio was obligatory. He told me he got it. Then by end of the morning I ask him if anyone has send their portfolio. Tells me nobody has sent a portfolio but that he has 20 different applicants ready.

I take a look at a few... none of them are designers, all of the engineers... of course they wouldn't have a Portfolio.
Then the guy tells me he is gonna check the offer again, I noticed it says "Web Developer" instead of Designer. I aks him to let me read it... he not only put up an offer for Engineers, he also used the word "Curriculum" instead of Portfolio.

Had to sit down and write the offer myself. Carefully telling people what you need in detail, step by step and with the proper terminology they gotta use is just not enough.

And a Japanese delinquent Panda on that one too.
